Ethos Nutrition 🍀 Another great Feel Good Festival in Pensilva, near Liskeard last Saturday.
I have kindly been invited to a give talk on osteoporosis & nutrition.
Winter is a good time of year to nourish our bones with warm meals such as stews, casseroles and soups rich with greens, root veg, protein, collagen (meat from bone or vegan collagen powder), healthy fats, little seaweed and culinary herbs.
Osteoporosis is more common than necessary, in men & women. In this condition the balance between the two bone cells osteoclasts (cells breaking down bones) & osteoblasts (bone builders) is out, with osteoclasts domineering.
Restoring this balance with functional foods (not just calcium), lifestyle changes & optimal digestive function is key here to increase osteoblast activity resulting in increased bone density. In addition, sufficient vitamin D3 (sunshine vitamin) status is very important for mineral absorption.
It is important to bare in mind that women with early or surgical menopause, and people on long term antacid medication, and long term smokers may be at higher risk to develop osteoporosis. Still, with optimal nutrition & lifestyle changes this can be helped.
Am happy to help if you like to know more or need more information. You can call 07517 449908. Or pop in to see me on Tue, Thu or Sat 10-3 in Market House Arcade, Launceston.

Ethos Nutrition 🍀 Digestive Health and Neurodiversity
Today let's have a closer look at dairy milk. Regular cow's milk contains A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. According to observational and clinical studies dairy milk containing high A1 beta-casein protein can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, digestive discomfort & inflammation which can affect other bodily system as well such as cognitive, metabolic, skin and cardiovascular health.
Historically, cow's milk used to contain high amount of A2 beta-casein proteins. Over the years the ratio A1 to A2 beta-casein changed in regular milk. According to research the A2 rich milk has shown to be easier digested and cause much less if any inflammation & digestive issues and supporting metabolic & cognitive health.
Milk rich in A2 protein is milk from Jersey & Guernsey cows or from goat milk.

Ethos Nutrition 🍀 Say No to Fast Food.
Fast food might be tasty and save time cooking but when it comes to health you might find that they:
- Add to inflammation
- Add to hormonal imbalance
- Weaken the immune system

Choose to introduce wholefood plant diet instead with sufficient protein (from plant or animal).
If time and/or motivation are limited try batch cooking.
If helpful, ask for some suitable recipes for inspiration. If you need more help & support contact me on 07517 449908

Ethos Nutrition 💚 Why is it so important to eat organic or as good as organic. Or even better...grow your own free of pesticides & herbicides.
Toxins from herbicides, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers and chemical cleaning products, once absorbed by our body they can start to build up and over time play havoc within our organism affecting hormonal, mental & tissue health and burden many organs compromising their function.
